Steve Jobs Shooting process
2021-11-30 08:01
After Michael Fassbender took over as Jobs, he visited many acquaintances of Jobs, including former Apple CEO John Scully, and Jobs's colleague and friend Joanna Hoffman to try to figure out the role. The script of "Steve Jobs" is divided into three acts, with a total of 182 pages, each with Fassbender's lines. However, a month later, when the other actors were still memorizing lines, Fassbender had memorized 30 times and could rehearse without a script.
Seth Rogen didn't know Woz before participating in the performance. In order to play this role well, Logan and Woz himself had a lot of contact and read a lot of materials on the Internet, including Woz's speeches and videos.
In the scene where Jobs and Sculley openly confronted each other, Ball and the editor Elliot Graham cut all the shots that switched back and forth between the two, so that the two were always in the same shot, which made the atmosphere tense. Can not bear to look. Part of this atmosphere comes from post editing, but most of it comes from Sorkin's script.

Steve Wozniak: What do you do? You're not an engineer. You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board! The graphical interface was stolen! So how come ten times in a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?
Steve Jobs: Musicians play their instruments. I play the orchestra.
